We have 48 hours to raise the funds for a healthy, 5-year-old Thoroughbred mare before she is retired from the race track and put to sleep.

Last weekend we responded to an emergency call to pick up Nick Rules from Tampa Bay Downs. Nick had suffered a very minor injury while racing on the track. He was evaluated by a vet and diagnosed with a small bone chip and was prescribed 90 days of stall rest to recover. The owner did NOT want to wait for Nick to recuperate, so he scheduled to have Nick put to sleep.

The vet tech contacted us last Friday and we gladly accepted to rescue Nick from euthenization and bring him back here to a foster family where he can stand in a stall and recuperate, just like the doctor ordered.

Nick's owner has now alerted us to a mare, "She is Are Lady" who is at Carder Race Track in Miami Gardens, Florida. She has No INJURIES, but her owner has decided that he is done racing her, so he is going to have this 5-year-old TB put to sleep.

Bob told Nick's owner that he would try to find a way to pick up this mare as well. After a weeks' time, Bob and I had given up hope to save this mare, due to the $300+ in fuel that it would cost to drive to Miami and back to pick her up.

This owner called us again on Saturday to give Bob a time frame in which he had to pick her up or he would indeed have her put to sleep.

Still with no money in hand, Bob called Lorraine's Horse Transport this morning and they will pick up this mare and deliver her to us for $225. We only have until Wednesday to raise $225 to save this mare before she is put to sleep.

CAN YOU PLEASE HELP US RAISE THE FUNDS FOR TRANSPORT TO SAVE HER LIFE???
